Can't seem to loose anymore weight



Recommended Posts

I am 6 months out since my surgery and had lose about 40lbs. Today I went for a follow up and found that I had gained 3 lbs. it was very disheartening. Just wondering if anyone experienced a gain and how did you get past it weight loss wise and emotionally? It really took the air out of my sail.

There was a week where it seemed like the scale went up several days. I was devastated. I came up with several scenarios from TOM to muscle weighing more than fat. I took a hard look at my diet and exercise routine and I did two Protein Shakes and one full meal for two days in a row and the loss started up again. I am not sure if that was the right thing to do but hey, it worked. I noticed what was different in my diet compared to previous weeks and made a few changes and I changed up my exercise routine just shake things up a bit. Hope this helps.

wow, i feel the exact same way!

Was banded in august and have lost about 50 lbs and recently gained back a few. Today I went for a fill and hope that will help, since I have plateaued for over a month :angry: :angry: :angry: Anyhow, I definetly think you should try carb cycling to break out of this funk (there is a there is a topic about it here and many people have had big success with it.)

Just keep exercising and following your dietary rules and you'll eventually lose more

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
